Can You Understand Me?
Can you ever hope to understand?
What is in my mind?
And who I am?
Ever I tried to convey my thoughts and convictions.
But they get lost in translation amongst poor dereliction.
I write in these stanzas to convey my point of view.
To simpifly my thoughts, for both me and you.
I envision the world and all possibilities
I envision the cultures and others realities
I see the issues, the trials, tribulations, and strifes,
I see the good works, the happiness, the love, and the pines
I see who is happy and also those who are sad
I hear the stories of what makes one go mad.
I consider a persons full range of emotions
I admit I'm not perfect cause its a vast ocean
I peice together science, philosophy and history
I peice together religion, biology and geography
I'm not an idiot, I just overthink
I am not stupid, I'm just analyzing
I try to make sense of this chaotic world
I've considered so much, my mind gets swirled
I piece and connect like one does a puzzle
Yet there are so many it makes one confuzzled
So I stay silent and trapped within my head
I keep filling up, and keep sensing dread
Is there one who can see what I see?
Is there one who thinks what I think?
I've tried to convey my thoughts to others
But they just glance to me as they go towards another
"YOLO" they say, or "let me take a selfie"
I just wonder at them, "Is that all you see?"
Can't anyone see that all thats mundane?
It provides no results and leads towards shame.
And those of us write such as I'm doing now,
Crabbing, complaining and having a cow,
Crying and whining of how lonely we are
Crying for people to think as we are
Wanting so desperately for one to understand
Who we are, and where we stand
So after considering and from close inspection
It's all based on a person's intention
The answers both simple and complex
It's about the focus of our mind that we stress
If we revert inwards that's all we'll see
if we move outwards, we forget who to be
One must learn to be happy with oneself
and help others be better than yourself
This is my goal that I'm trying to be
Let me ask you, is this what you see?
Or are we stuck within our own minds?
Trapped forever and feeling sublime?
Please tell me your trying to be free
From your own mind that's trapped you in apathy
And I'll fight the same fight tobe open and in harmony
So I can speak my mind openly and freely.
